Thane!!! My lizard-fish lover. You better believe I romanced him haha. I love a sad man.

The Belle of Absurdity: Catherine O'Hara (1954-2026) | Tributes | Roger Ebert Brilliant, beautiful and constantly surprising, Catherine O'Hara found the truth in often absurd characters.

"No two characters were alike. And once she’d dug into them, she was so committed that you you stopped thinking of what she was doing as a performance and started to feel as if you were just watching a person being themselves. A bizarre person, that is."

A Statement from the Red Hook Founders When we founded Red Hook, our goal was to support ourselves while making a game of our own dreams. Simple to describe, but not easy. We knew the difficulty, of course, because we had previously worked on other projects at other companies. We had seen our share of canceled games, failed games, or games that were good but couldn’t find a large audience. 10 years ago, on Jan 19th, 2016, Darkest Dungeon was “completed” and released as 1.0. It was immediately clear that we had bottled lightning. Back in the pre-release days, we didn’t dare to entertain the fantasy that our work would resonate to the extent it has, or find such a passionate and creative audience. But it did. As we reflect upon this 10 year run (11 if you include early access), the fullness of time has made us realize that connecting with you, the audience, proved to be one of the most fulfilling and thrilling parts of the entire dungeon crawl. Thanks to you and your perseverance, the game wasn’t just flash in the pan. This game about resilience showed its own resilience. A hardscrabble and mean game about making the best of a bad situation created an incredibly good situation for us and the development team. We are so grateful for everyone who has ever engaged with Darkest Dungeon over the years - whether by playing, making art, filming let’s plays and guides, getting yourself tattooed, writing, posting, commenting, and of course critiquing. (And yes, we love reading about the occasional party wipe due to spiders. Patently unfair, but always funny.) Whether you have been with us since the days of Kickstarter or just completed the tutorial yesterday (hopefully Reynauld and Dismas both survived), we are happy you are here. And stay tuned - we're not out of the dungeon yet. This expedition, at least, promises success. –The Ancestor –Chris Bourassa and Tyler Sigman

Happy Birthday Darkest Dungeon!

Netflix-Warner Bros Desl Is an ‘Anti-Monopoly Nightmare,’ Sen Warren Says

This headline got me all exited that Elizabeth Warren was going to fight The Batman.

Obviously this is impossible because Alan Moore looks like he's genetically a wizard, it's simply impossible to imagine what he would look like as a schoolboy oh there he is.

I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen

ok this cheered me up

The only truly ethical response that a self-described artist can make. Anything else is a betrayal of one's colleagues.

Young Carrie Fisher starring down a dashing in glasses Peter Weller with a big smile on her face & it makes every person ever speculate on what happened next between the two of them hot damn. Sapiosexuals rejoice!

It's Carrie Fisher's birthday! 🖤

Here's an obligatory sapiosexual collage of her eyefucking Peter Weller. 😁

there is one week every october in this city where early fall transitions to vancouver grey for the next five months

and it’s always spectacular

What an absolute treasure Diane Keaton was. Her wit never tired, nor did her style.

My therapist has to remind me constantly that just because I'm anxious something may happen doesn't necessarily mean it will.

One of these rich dudes invested in a food company with all proceeds going to kids in need. The other started Sundance Institute, boosting the lives of countless artists. Hey modern rich dudes, don't be a typical greedy AI crypto-prick, be like these two.

Elden Ring ⭐

going from "transgender ideology" to "look at the poor misguided white kid" without even taking a breath, unconscionable

She’s fiiiiine. Just one too many of those tasty eyeballs…

holy shit dude using a fake deployment for wildland fire crews from a fire that’s only 13% contained during peak western US fire season to detain multiple firefighters and remove the crews from the fire is a scale of evil & dangerous I can’t fully communicate to people not from wildfire regions

This movie is pretty rad, a surprisingly nuanced take on Indigenous issues for a 90s horror movie, and Greene is fantastic in it as a guy who might be a dangerous trickster spirit. It's free on Tubi, check it out.

Graham Greene, in his prime.

Just heard the news about Graham Greene, and I don't know what I can add to the tributes beyond this: The man was a legend for a reason. He inhabited his early roles with charisma and clarity, then let his own charm seep through his performances once he knew audiences trusted him.

“Hatched from the stagnant, brackish waters of the coast, a supernatural contagion is swarming inland.”

Our 3rd Kingdoms module, Curse of the Court, releases tomorrow on PC and Mac!

Fight back swarms of vampirically-corrupted nobles and free your kingdom from the clutches of the Crimson Curse.

Next to her is the silly blue tiger derpy, sitting in the wet street with no umbrella. The tiny, six-eyed bird Sussie sits on top of Derpy's head with a tiny red umbrella. The colors skew toward a glowing magenta.
